Critics have begun attending early screenings of the film, and they’re weighing in now.
The movie currently has a 23% Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Slant gave it 1 out of 4 stars, writing: “Mostly notable for its distracting resemblance to Rick Rosenthal’s Halloween II, Chapter 2 suggests for a while a needlessly extended epilogue to the first film.”
Bloody Disgusting gave it 1 out of 5 stars, writing: “A post-credit tease weakly sets the stage for the final chapter, a job that this installment was meant to achieve. But Chapter 2 throttles and chokes out any lingering interest in the Strangers and this confounding trilogy.”
